Loans
A library loan is a fixed period of time that a customer can borrow a physical or digital item so they may read, listen to or view it outside of the library.
A few things to remember when borrowing materials:
- When possible, we'll give you a receipt that shows what you checked out and when it’s due. If a receipt isn't available, you can always sign into your account online to see what you have out.
- You’ll have to pay the cost of repairing or replacing materials that are lost or damaged while checked out on your library card.
- Regina Public Library is not responsible for any damage or loss to persons, property, or equipment sustained as a result of using or consulting RPL materials
